The submission portal is now online!

We are collecting abstracts for oral presentations and posters to contribute to this year`s EMP-E Conference under its new name “European Climate and Energy Modelling Platform (ECEMP)”. In agreement with the European Commission, we have adopted this new name to consider the increasing role of climate policies and climate change and their impact on energy demand and supply planning.

This year’s conference will be planned again as an online event, due to uncertainties regarding the possibility of physical meetings. However, we are still investigating options for a hybrid event and we will send communications by  April, in case the decision of an online event changes. We will set up the same possibilities for interaction as last year to ensure an engaging, policy-oriented and enjoyable conference experience.

This year, the overarching topic is: Acting on the ambitions to a net-zero EU: roadblocks, challenges and opportunities.

The deadline for submission is the 20th June 2022.

We encourage paper and poster abstract submissions which fit the following sub-themes:
